First of all the practice of untouchability was abolished. Hindu temples were thrown open to all including the former untouchables.
- A certain percentage of seats in legislatures as well as jobs in government were reserved for members of the lowest castes.
- Along with the former untouchables, the Adivasis also known as the Scheduled Tribes were also granted reservations in seats and jobs. They too had been deprived and discriminated against like the Scheduled Castes.
